Chapter 11: Buying the Abandoned Psychiatric Hospital

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Sue stood at the entrance of the abandoned psychiatric hospital and looked at it carefully.

“I think this place is just right…”

The main building of the psychiatric hospital was twenty stories high, and the auxiliary building near the main building was five stories high. At the top of the main building, there was a fully-equipped sunroom. Apart from that, there was a large garden outside the buildings. Alas, the grass had already turned yellow due to the extreme heat. Even the outside of the psychiatric hospital was surrounded by trees. Unfortunately, when the world froze, everyone would likely be trapped indoors for a long time. As such, they could only use the areas indoors. Nonetheless, the building was large so it should be enough.

Sue continued to say, “Even if it looks a little dilapidated, it shouldn’t be a big problem…”

Li Jiayue frowned and said, “But this building was built more than twenty years ago. What if it’s unstable? It’d be bad if the building collapsed, right?”

“Well, we’ll know more once we go in and have a look, right?” Sue said as he gestured to Li Jiayue to follow him.

Surprisingly, after they went in, they discovered that the structure of the building was still very strong despite its dilapidated appearance.

“Although it’s an old building, it looks pretty good inside,” Li Jiayue said with a sigh.

“When I was researching places on the Internet, I saw this place as well. It was said that the quality of the materials used to build this place was very good. As such, it’s not inferior to new buildings…” Sue said.

Most importantly, many problems had been considered before the psychiatric hospital was built. Not only did it have complete anti-earthquake features, but there was also a bomb shelter underground.

Moreover, the entire place that occupied an area of about 60,000 square meters only cost about ten million.

These were the reasons Sue was tempted by this place were also due to these small features.

“So what do you think of this place, Li Jiayue?” Sue asked again.

Li Jiayue looked around her carefully before she replied, “It’s not bad. Apart from being old, there doesn’t seem to be much of a problem.”

“Alright, then let’s go with this place then.”

Although ten million was a lot, considering everything, the price was acceptable.

‘Let’s just buy it directly!’

Sue did not hesitate and decisively pressed the purchase button on the app. In just a moment, more than ten million disappeared from his account, causing him to feel a little distressed. He thought to himself in an attempt to comfort himself, ‘It’s fine. It’s worth it as long as I’m able to obtain this place.’

…

At the same time, a notification popped up on the phone of the seller of the psychiatric hospital.

‘The property you advertised on our app has been sold for more than ten million. The money will be transferred to your account once the transaction is completed.’

“Fuck!”

The seller sat up on his bed. His hand that was holding the phone trembled slightly as he looked at his phone in shock and disbelief.

“I… Am I dreaming?”

He pinched his cheek in a daze before he reached up and slapped himself.

A crisp sound rang out, and after a pause, the seller began to laugh. After five years, he finally managed to get rid of that property. The property had been rotting in his hand, and he was constantly worried that no one would buy it.

His concern was valid. After all, the location was remote, far from the city, and it was not easy to get here. Moreover, there were quite a few deaths in the psychiatric hospital. As such, business owners were not interested in buying the property.

He had originally listed the property for twenty million, but seeing that no one showed interest in buying the property after a long time, he gritted his teeth and lowered the price. He really did not expect that someone would finally take the bait.

After a moment, he could not help but feel curious as to why the other party would buy such a place. He clicked on Sue’s homepage, but there was nothing to see. In the end, he only shrugged and thought to himself, ‘Who cares as long as I can get rid of that place…’

After a moment, he quickly dialed Sue’s phone number that was listed on the app. His top priority now was to meet the mysterious buyer as soon as possible to hand over the relevant documents so he could take the money and leave!”

…

Not long after Sue clicked on the button to confirm the purchase, his phone began to ring.

The other party was very direct. As soon as the call connected, he said, “Hello, Mr. Su. May I ask if you’re serious about buying my property?”

Sue nodded and said decisively, “Of course.”

“When are you free? When you have the time, let’s meet to transfer the ownership of the property and get this over with as soon as possible.”

“It depends on you.”

The seller thought about it for a moment before he said, “I’m free to meet you whenever. It’s all up to you, boss! I can meet you whenever you want!”

“Alright. What about tomorrow?”

‘Tomorrow?’

The seller was overjoyed when he heard this. He did not expect that the buyer was a man of action. It was great. He did not expect to meet such an easy-going person. He said enthusiastically, “Tomorrow is fine! What time do you want to meet? It doesn’t matter what time you want to meet; I’ll be at your beck and call!”

Sue thought about it for a moment and said, “How about tomorrow noon? Are you free at noon?”

Sue planned to get a few documents from the new company he set up before then. With that, once the purchase of the property was completed, he would be able to start the renovation as soon as possible.

“Of course! I’ve already said I’ll be at your beck and call, boss! I’ll see you at noon then!”

“Okay,” Sue said with a nod.

After ending the call, Sue felt that the burden on his shoulder had lifted slightly. He finally solved the matter of looking for a shelter. As such, he was in a particularly good mood.

Sue walked over to Li Jiayue and patted her shoulder before he said, “Let’s go. I’ve already dealt with everything. It’s time for us to leave.”
